MannaBrew Chia Pudding Parfaits

Ingredients

For the chia pudding:

  • 2 cups brewed MannaBrew, cooled
  • 2 cups coconut milk (or almond milk)
  • ¾ cup chia seeds
  • 4 tsp pure maple syrup or honey (to taste)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For layering:

  • 1½ cups Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for vegan)
  • 1 cup granola (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1½ cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
  • Drizzle of MannaBrew syrup or honey for topping

Instructions

1. Prepare the pudding base:

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cooled MannaBrew, coconut milk, chia

seeds, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Mix well to prevent clumping.

2. Set the pudding:

Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes, then stir again. Cover and refrigerate for at

least 2 hours, or overnight, until thick and creamy.

3. Assemble the parfaits:

Spoon a layer of chia pudding into the bottom of each glass or jar. Add a layer of

yogurt, followed by berries and granola. Repeat the layers if desired.

4. Finish and serve:

Drizzle each parfait with a touch of MannaBrew syrup or honey. Serve chilled

 

Benefits of Chia Seeds:

High in Nutrients, Low in Calories

Chia seeds are rich in essential nutrients:

  • Fiber: ~10g per 2 tablespoons (helps with digestion and fullness)
  • Protein: Complete plant-based protein with all 9 essential amino acids
  • Healthy fats: Especially omega-3 fatty acids (ALA)
  • Minerals: Calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, and zinc

Excellent for Digestive Health

  • The high fiber content supports healthy digestion and promotes regular bowel movements.
  • When soaked, chia seeds form a gel-like texture that can soothe the digestive tract and feed beneficial gut bacteria.

Aids in Weight Management

  • The fiber and protein increase satiety, helping you feel full longer.
  • Chia can help stabilize blood sugar levels, preventing energy crashes and overeating.

Balances Blood Sugar

The combination of fiber, protein, and healthy fats slows glucose absorption, helping to prevent blood sugar spikes—making chia excellent for diabetic-friendly diets.
